NAME

mkoctfile - Compile dynamic-load modules for GNU Octave

SYNOPSIS

mkoctfile [OPTION]... file...

DESCRIPTION

mkoctfile is used to compile C, C++, or Fortran source code in to a dynamically loadable .oct file for octave(1).

OPTIONS

-h, -?, --help: Print help message.
-Idir: Add include directory dir to compile commands.
-idirafterdir: Add include directory to second include search path after '-I'.
-Ddef: Add definition def to compiler command.
-llib: Add library lib to link command.
-Ldir: Add library directory dir to link command.
-Rdir: Pass -Rdir to link command.
-g: Enable debugging option for all compilers.
-pthread: Add -pthread to link command.
-W...: Pass flags to the compiler such as -Wa,OPTION.
-Wl,...: Pass flags to the linker such as -Wl,-rpath=...
-M, --depend: Generate dependency files (.d) for C and C++ source files.
-c: Compile but do not link.
--link-stand-alone: Link a stand-alone executable file.
-s, --strip: Strip the output file.
--mex: Create a MEX file. Set the default output extension to .mex.
-o file, --output file: Output filename. Default extension is .oct (or .mex if --mex is specified) unless linking a stand-alone executable.
-p VAR, --print VAR: Print configuration variable VAR. There are three categories of variables:

: Octave configuration variables that users may override with environment variables. These are used in commands that mkoctfile executes.

: Octave configuration variables that are provided for informational purposes only. Except for OCTAVE_HOME and OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME, users may not override these variables.
: If OCTAVE_HOME or OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME are set in the environment, then other variables are adjusted accordingly with OCTAVE_HOME or OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME substituted for the original value of the directory specified by the --prefix or --exec-prefix options that were used when Octave was configured.
